The problem is due to the lack of a proper GLX visual - most likely accumulation buffers and/or double buffering. The problem is not seen on previous Fedora versions, because (most likely) ATi or nVidia drivers were used by the packagers. To prevent the crash - a patch is submitted here (more than a month now - Chitlesh ?). http://prdownload.berlios.de/toped/release_0.9_patch_652_678.patch Nevertheless the program will not run normally without required GLX visual.
Svilen, your patch isn't helping. First it is doing reverse-patching. Second: ./configure: line 24337: AX_CHECK_GL: command not found ./configure: line 24346: AX_CHECK_GLU: command not found Third, fails to start
Somehow a wrong patch ended up in the repository.The patch was replaced. The new patch is: http://prdownload.berlios.de/toped/release_0.9_patch_654_721.patch
toped-0.9.0-2.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8

It at least starts for me now. However after using it for a while, looking around a moderately sized GDS layout the system crashed. The screen went black and flickered repeatedly (like mode switching). I couldn't ssh in from another machine. It did respond to ctrl-alt-del, however, and rebooted. This is probably a problem with the Intel graphics driver, as I've had similar problems with some other apps.
Svilen Krustev is the main developer and he is taking the bug seriously. Perhaps soon we will have a fix.
Tim, I do appreciate you feedback. A couple of questions: - your configuration (is that fc9?) - if you think that's toped specific bug - I'm not sure this is the right place to discuss it. Please feel free to continue updating toped bug list or to post in the mailing list. (In reply to comment #10) > It at least starts for me now.
